This Sunday afternoon, the Gym is traveling to Reims for the 28th day of Ligue 1. Having been defeated once again by Nantes last weekend, the Aiglons must respond away from home. All the pre-match information.
It was thought that the crisis at OGC Nice had passed. Just before the break, the team from Nice found their way to victory at Lens. However, the Gym did not confirm their form last weekend against Nantes. The Aiglons suffered another home defeat after a lackluster performance. Still in fifth place, the team from Nice needs to respond in the race for Europe and emerge from troubled waters for good.
To do this, they will need to defeat Reims on their turf at Auguste-Delaune. The team from Reims is currently in 9th place and is still in the running for a European qualification. Stade de Reims is only five points behind OGC Nice in the standings. In the first leg, the Gym won (2-1), thanks to goals from Gaëtan Laborde and Jérémie Boga.
End of the season for Sofiane Diop
Back from suspension, Pablo Rosario and Khephren Thuram will be traveling to Reims. However, Francesco Farioli is once again dealing with several absences. After surgery on his foot this week, Sofiane Diop‘s season is already over. Already unavailable last week, Youssouf Ndayishimiye (thigh) and Valentin Rosier (thigh alert) are still unavailable. Finally, the return of Morgan Sanson is “90% guaranteed” according to the Italian coach.
On the Reims side, several absences are also noteworthy. Benjamin Stambouli (tendon), Mohamed Daramy, and Adama Bojang (knee) are unavailable for this match.
Probable line-ups:
Reims: Diouf – Agbadou, Okumu, Abdelhamid, Akieme – Edoa, Munetsi – Ito, Khadra, Nakamura – Diakité
Nice: Bulka – Lotomba, Todibo, Dante, Bard – Boudaoui, Rosario, Thuram – Cho, Guessand, Boga
